It just keeps your headlights on for a while after you've switched off the engine, so that you can find your front door in the dark.

Of course it also means that nice people will be telling you you forgot to switch off your lights.

yeah you have to pull the indicator stalk to towards you (flash to pass). I wished the headlights would just stay on automatically after you shut the car off instead of having to pull the stalk yourself.

Yep. Once you pull the stalk the lights will come on and stay on for the period of time you have set.
